Fabulous Adventures In Coding

When Ayende uses. Net 3.0, the following problem occurs: csc.exe and delegate inference, or: Why C # has awkward syntax.

Public class TestCsc
{
Public static void TestMethod ()
{
Execute (Bar); // fail to compile
Execute (delegate (int ia, string x) {}); // compiles fine
Execute (int I, string x) =>{ return;}); // Compiles fine
Execute (int I, string x) =>{ return true ;}); // fail to compile
Execute (Foo); // fail to compile
Execute (delegate (int ia, string x) {return true ;}); // fail to compile
}

Public static bool Foo (int ia, string x)
{
Return false;
}

Public static void Bar (int ia, string x)
{
}

Public static void Execute <T, K> (Action <T, K> e)
{
}

Public static void Execute <T, K> (Func <bool, T, K> e)
{

}
}

 

What is the cause of failure ??

Eric Lippert gave his explanation In his blogFabulous Adventures In Coding.
